Today we check out the AMAZING farmer's market in Troy, NY where thousands of locals gather to enjoy a beautiful Saturday. We grab some fantastic food before leaving the marina, hitting our first lock of the New York State Canal System, and wrapping up our day in Waterford, NY.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

About 30 minutes or so north of Troy is the famous Saratoga Race Track. Many years back they had an artists competition to paint horse statues. I wonder if that horse statue you pointed out came from that competition. The results of that competition are scattered all over the area as some of the painted statues were commissioned by various businesses and organizations in the area. I live an hour north of Troy. If you do the loop again you need to take the Champlain Canal, you will not be disappointed.

Strongly suggest whoever is tending the lines in the lock has a lock blade (knife) on a lanyard whenever locking through. Emergencies happen and having a knife VERY close by is always a good idea.

Absolutely! Jennifer keeps one on her every time we lock - good advice!

The Erie is #1 on our Great Loop bucket list! Thanks again putting up such great content! We hope to take it all the way to Lake Erie. What is your bridge clearance? Will your mast lay down with your dingy in place? We really like that dingy mounting design.

@SchoandJo Жыл бұрын

Nice! It will live up to the hype! We can clear 12 if we take our bimini down, I think we are around 15 with the mast down. Without changing anything we are about 18. Cheers!

We also loved Troy when we did Lake Erie, the Erie Canal and Hudson River in the opposite direction from you. Cool small city. Sad to hear you won't be doing the whole Erie Canal -- is that due to a height problem with your boat? The west half is lovely, with welcoming towns ranging from a tad forlorn to bustling. Lake Erie ranges from pleasant to rough, and good ports are far apart at the Eastern end. Oddly enough, we had a rough time in the lock just before Troy -- it got quite swirly as the water went down. No problems in any of the Erie Canal locks however.

@SchoandJo Жыл бұрын

Our boat is capable to do the Western Erie however we would have to lower our biminy. We decided not to do it this year so that we could do the Trent-Severn and go into Canada! All tradeoffs 😁

Another great video! I have a question about locks that I've not heard answered yet. Do they charge you to go through the locks? I have heard that you can purchase a pass for the Canadian locks, but what about all the other locks?

@SchoandJo Жыл бұрын

Hey Dennis good question! The NY State canal system this year did not charge, but in the past you did have to pay. I believe since COVID they have not charged. The Canadian locks require a pass, and there are different ones you can buy depending on where you want to go and if you want to backtrack. And finally the mid-west river locks as well as small locks here and there (like in Virginia) there are no fees for them.
